There are just far too many better choices out there (Elixir, Phoenix) for me to ever consider going back to Microsoft technologies. I still haven't forgotten their ASP.Net MVC framework that nearly made me give up being a developer.

ASP.NET MVC is pretty much a clone of any service MVC framework(django, rails). I don't see the problem with it.

Well you are letting Microsoft rule your life. Could go really good or could go really bad. With Django you have an actual community that drives the project.

dotnet core has a community driving the project. As for giving up being a developer, why? It's simple, straight forward and has never been frustrating to me.

Phoenix/Postgres.

If a project doesn't need a backend (boy howdy do I love keeping things in localstorage), Elm. I keep meaning to use Phoenix and Elm together but it never seems like the thing to do. I do love Elm a lot, though, I have a couple dozen widgets and what-have-yous written in it, and it's my preferred prototyping / build it in anger toolset.

Ditto. Have used LAMP, JEE, Rails, Grails, ASP.NET MVC, Meteor ande Express.js. ASP.NET MVC is _fine_ and has decent performance. ASP.NET on .NET Core blows pretty much everything else out of the water performance wise, but there's more to life than performance. ASP.NET Core being open-source and running fine on Linux and Mac helps, though.

.NET Core with Entity Framework ORM and a relational database on the backend. Angular 1 on the frontend unless you have over 100 bound variables on a page, then consider ReactJS or VueJS.

You advise to use an abondoned tech (Angular 1), that was full of unstable plugins and hard to use setups while it was active, instead of a simple to use view layer like React?

The api surface of Angular is way too big to invest in, compared to the alternatives, of which there are many. ReactJS is vastly more popular for a reason, even though it arrived at a time when Angular already had a big following and huge momentum.

If you have a super simple front-end with few variables you don't need a framework anyway. Vanilla JS is fine. But React+Redux is killer once it starts to grow into a big SPA.

Ruby on Rails or Node.js for the backend (API) and React for the front end. Rails is excellent for database migrations. Postgresql / MongoDb / Firebase for the database, depending on requirements.

I'm saying this as a Node.js user myself so I'm not putting down Node but... Node.js is not a "Framework" Sails.js is a framework. You could argue that Express is. But Node itself if not.

Also, Sails.js is the worst framework I've ever worked with. Never, ever use it.

No love for Django? Django/Postgres

I have gone through work using Codeigniter, Laravel, Spring then Django. Django was very easy to learn coming from Laravel and has lot les boilerplate than Spring. Never going back!

Maybe it is just hype but I am trying out Elixir. I am interested in the functional programming too so its a win -win for me.
